Uh oh - here we go again! There were several threads recently about
DCL vs. others, so scan the past few pages of posts.
I have cruised with Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Disney, and Celebrity - in that order. I preferred the non-Disney cruises to my two on the Wonder - probably because 4-day cruises to the Bahamas aren't very exciting to me. I usually pick a cruise for the destination, whereas I cruised with DCL because it was Disney.
The Wonder is a beautiful ship, the cabins are very nice (although I don't care for the split baths), the production shows are very good, and it is very "Disney." I found the food and service to be comparable to other cruise lines, but I felt DCL lacked adult activities onboard while the ship was in port.
I am booked on the Dream in 2011, and I would book another
Disney cruise IF the price and itinerary were really good. However, I won't pay out the wazoo when DCL charges premium prices - especially for special itineraries like Northern Europe and Alaska.
